    Cut and cut and cut and now a trestle bridge. Trying to add as much as possible to my small door size layout. Not liking heights make this so much better. Ron

    The vessel with the trestle has the brew that is true.

    Looking good.

    A tall trestle such as this is one of the items I wish I could have incorporated into my layout.

    I hate heights so this makes it cooler and I drive the loco slower on the turn and straight of this trestle bridge because of its height. Make me sweat. Thanks Ron

    There is just something special about a tall wooden trestle. They really make an interesting scene.

    Great job! Love the detail of the large red water pipe along the side. Those are LONG ladders!

    Nicely done! Nothing more impressive than a wood trestle. Jim

    Thanks for all the comments! Really helps that I don't like heights. I drive the loco gingerly around the curve and straight of the trestle bridge, tooo high! I feel like a passenger. Ron

    Well done. And the pipe really adds to the detail. Neat idea.
